mitted suicide in Jail at S:55 this
morning by exploding illuminate cap
in his mouth. He held the cap in his
teeth and exploded it by the heat of a
lighted candle. The explosion was so
loud that the jail officials thought d
bomb had been fired in the corridors
Deputy O'Neill rushed into Lingg's
cell which was filed with smoke. He
found Lingg lying on his back with
great holes in his head from which the
blood was rushing in torrents. He
was at once carried into the jail office
and placed on table. He was still
breathing family and while Dir. Gray
was examining him he coughed slight
ly, and the blood poured forth again
from his terrible wounds and from his
mouth and nose. The physicians said
the man could only live an hour or
50 at the most.
Capt. Black entered the cell about
10 O'Clock. Lingg was able to recog-
nize him. His jaw and the tissues of
the throat were torn away and the
muscles of his face hung in shreds.
He was grim and CHASTITY spectacle,
Teeth and bits of flesh and clots of
blood were scattered on the floor.
After while Jailor Folz made an
examination of the cell. On the floor
he found the shell Of Illuminating
cap. The sheriff said there had I'M
doubtedly been dynamite in it. The
supposition that the man put the shell
in his mouth and deliberately applied
the candle flame is undoubtedly

parties as found by the verdict of the

A Madison gentleman, an acquaint-
ance of the postmaster general in
converting with your correspondent
to-day relative to Mr.. Villas oratori-
cal ability, said:
| could ii | chose introduce to you
gentleman who saw and read the
manuscript of Villas famous Grafton
at the Grant banquet in Chicago be-
fore Mr.. Villas himself had seen it.
The author Of that Grafton is Col. Ed
Bryant, who now holds a lucrative
position in the postoiice department
under Mr.. Villas. Bryant not only
wrote the Grafton, but the main part f
the speech delivered by Mr.. Villas at
the merchants banquet in Milwaukee
in June, 1884, which stands as one of
the great efforts in his life The fact is
Mr.. Villas never delivered speech
original with himself that was not a
fiat failure.
Speaking about the postmaster gener-
ais chances for the vice presidency in
1888 the Madison man, who is q
thorough politician said:
If Mr.. Villas is nominated he will
come pretty close to carrying both
Wisconsin and Minnesota for the
Democrats, probably ne man in eth
er state is connected With so many
and so extensive business interests rs
he, and no one can use such influence
to better advantage.

the speedy and eifectual cure of
coughs, colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entire
ly different principle from the
usual prescriptions given by ply

cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary
removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the parts affected and leaves
them in purely healthy condition.
A bottle kept in the house for use
